Technical background:
The philosophy behind Edu-Logger’s plug and play
technology is based on each sensor’s ability to store its
own data due to an internal flash memory chip and
micro-controller in each plastic Edu-Logger body.
This technology allows the sensor to collect and then
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (
o
C,
o
F, Lux, %, ppm, for example).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in
software in the logger can be upgraded at any time
using software.
The wide range temperature uses a thermocoupler to
accurately measure temperatures from very cold
(-200°C) to very hot (1200°C). Two wires of different
compositions and thermal conductance properties are
connected at the ends.
Because the metal wires have different properties both
heat and electricity are conducted at different rates.
Using the Seebeck Effect, a voltage is created in the
wires.
Different
voltages
are
produced
at
different
temperatures. The voltage is what is directly
measured and then converted into a very accurate
temperature reading.
